You know how there's books that are so bad that they're entertaining? This isn't one of them.

Bad, one-dimensional characters who make unreasonable choices, predictable story, I was so bored I ended up just reading every other page towards the end.

Any author that needs to insert a completely unnecessary R-word scene to somehow progress the plot goes onto my red flag list, so does Joy Fielding now.
